Have you ever felt afraid to go to work? Afraid for your staff to enter a patients’ room? Fearful that you or a colleague may be assaulted?
Unfortunately, in nursing today, staff members face these fears regularly, and it has become increasingly accepted as "part of the job." According to the New England Journal of Medicine, a large study was conducted among healthcare professionals and the results stated that 46 percent of nurses reported some type of workplace violence during their five most recent shifts; of these nurses, one-third were physically assaulted.

Healthcare Industry
Becker’s Hospital Review
Although nurses rank salary as the top factor in job satisfaction, 31 percent of them don't negotiate their pay when starting new positions, according to Nurse.com's Nursing Salary Research Report. To address this issue, Nurse.com talked with two nurse recruiters, who shared advice on how and when RNs can negotiate salary.
Practice and Patient Care
Minority Nurse
Healthcare quality and patient safety are not dependent upon a singular factor. Rather than addressing the system and its processes in a methodical, incremental fashion, the current model focuses improvement in a single area rather than addressing the system as a whole. This is where the industry is failing.
